Mr. Kevin Page, the current and very first Parliamentary Budget Officer of Canada, seems to be a poor guy in some circumstances.

Well...

It takes time to build up a received political process framework.

When defending the national interests of the U.S., the American legal system seems to be so powerful.

A great contradiction

It seems that Ayn Rand's moral philosophy, which has remained quite popular in the U.S. since the 1940s, doesn't square with the famous John F. Kennedy quote "my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

Canadians read a whole lot of books.

Constantly reading.

Lyrics copied from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b26cmL-w9a0 :

【風雨兼程】 3分49秒

今天你又去遠行
正是風雨濃
山高水長路不平
願你多保重

記得那年初相識
也在風雨中
風濃雨濃情更濃
祝你早成功

來也匆匆去也匆匆
就這樣風雨兼程
來也匆匆去也匆匆
就這樣風雨兼程

明天我也要登程
伴你風雨行
山高水長路不平
攜手同攀登

還是常言說得好
風光在險峰
待到雨過天晴時
捷報化彩虹

有爱。

I'm glad that China has reached out its publicity hands to the society of the U.S.

I hope that the 'extra large, extra red beachhead in Times Square' will gradually become a fountainhead of China's assimilation into the Western world.

My ignorance is a mote in my eye.

Is the gradual decline of Microsoft a portentous sign for Intel?

I wonder how well policemen write.

(Image from http://goo.gl/midS4)

Even constables are required to render written reports oftentimes.

Is it always a good thing to make students constantly on their mettle?

Blogger doesn't provide any gadget for sharing to Douban.com , up to now.

Social networking websites help people thresh out significant news and information from noises, in unprecedented ways.

To Microsoft

If you've done with that Bing search engine thing, can you please take a long careful look at the social networking arena and do something significant in there post-haste, for your own good?

Software programs, including web services,

really should regard memory economy. A bad example is Adobe Flash Player.

Some consumers don't understand companies. And some citizens don't understand the government.

Different orientations of the two parties involved in each above case.

Consumers and customers in China have become so subtle.

They can really understand and discriminate products and services.

幽冥处世。

The Chrome browser's image rendering engine seems interesting,

especially when it's rendering favicons.

Tweets on Twitter are just ephemeral.

I don't like that nature quite a lot.
